#19595: The 'redirect' from django.shortcuts does not work in a view function
when
the only parameter is a URL string

The fragment of urls.py:
{{{
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
url(r'^$', 'home.views.home', name='home'),
url(r'^viewer', 'home.views.viewer', name='viewer'),
...
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
# url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
}}}
The home/views.py:
{{{
...
def viewer( request ):
from django.shortcuts import redirect
return redirect( '/' )
...
}}}
I tested the redirect in another similar project, in both cases the
traceback is similar:
{{{

115. response = callback(request,

14. request, result = view( *args, **kwargs )

}}}
The function worked in Django-1.3 (I updated from Django-1.3 or some
release of Django-1.4). In current releases Django-1.4.3 and Django-1.5c1
it does not work as expected.
[The
docs](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/http/shortcuts/#django.shortcuts.redirect)
says we could pass the string URL as the first parameter.
